rp @ibramxk: Myths are constraining too many parents from talking to their children about racism, and from actively raising their kids to be antiracist. #antiracism #antiracisteveryday - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
rp @blackhistoryforwhitepeople: The majority of police officers are great and heroic, but if you have systems that protect the bad apples then it pulls the whole system down. Therefore, it's not loving to support those systems.

rp @blackhistory: On January 3, 1966—Robert C. Henry became the first African-American mayor of any major U.S. city when he was appointed mayor of Springfield, Ohio. Henry’s achievement is often overlooked because fellow Ohioan, Mayor Carl B. Stokes of Cleveland, was the first elected black mayor of a major U.S. city. He was appointed to a fact-finding commission on Vietnam by Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon in 1970. In 1972, Henry ran for a congressional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives as the Republican Party nominee but did not get elected.

rp @blairimani: And I’m not just talking about just one crisis here.
The crisis of anti-trans violence is killing our trans siblings. Just recently @edenthedoll, @jaslenewhiterose and @joslynflawless were mercilessly attacked just for existing while trans. I praise Allah that they survived but saying “Protect Trans Women” is not enough without action.
When you hear transphobia? SHUT IT DOWN.
When you see bullying? SHUT IT DOWN.
When you can demonstrate queer affirmation? DO IT.
Why are you on this earth if not to be an active participant in making this place less terrible?!?!?!?
If you have the luxury of ignoring a crisis, you have privilege.
Didn’t give a shit about the post office? That’s privilege, too. Right now it costs 55 cents to send a letter in the USA. For our incarcerated siblings that’s a crucial lifeline when making a phone call from inside a prison can cost $15 for 15 minutes.
Check yourself when you find yourself ignoring a crisis because you can. Caring is the bare minimum. Doing something about it is the goal. Learning about it while others suffer? That too is a privilege. So, step up and give a damn. - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems

rp @blackhistory: Heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali is escorted from the Armed Forces Examining and Entrance Station in Houston, Texas by Lt. Col. J. Edwin McKee, commandant of the station, after Ali refused induction into the army on April 28, 1967. Ali said he was a conscientious objector who would not serve in the Army of a country that treated members of his race as second-class citizens.

rp @drcourtneyrose: Quick question: Where has NOT talking about it gotten us? The kids are watching, listening, looking to us for guidance. When children’s worries, fears & questions are ignored, glossed over or discouraged, all it does is stoke more worries, fears & questions. Not to mention the unaddressed concerns of parents, social justice-oriented and anti-racist educators, and so many other key community members and key stakeholders. This shit runs deep. There is no more time for lack of action. Create spaces fo dialogue. Create spaces for developing action toward change. Create spaces for healing. - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems

Repost @absorbedinpages. A Particular Kind of Black Man is a debut novel from Tope Folarin about a Nigerian family living in Utah and their uncomfortable assimilation to American life
...
Described as sweeping, stirring and perspective shifting — a beautiful exploration of the meaning of memory, manhood, home, and identity as seen through the eyes of a first generation Nigerian-American
...
I’ve been wanting to read a book on immigration and assimilation for a while now. Do you have certain themes that you like to read about and that just call to you? Repost @absorbedinpages.

rp @andrearanaej: One way this shows up:
Well-meaning white womxn surrendering their sovereignty to black women. Diminishing the self as a means of uplifting the other. Making the self inherently bad while making the other inherently good.
This is a foundational element of a culture of supremacy. In this dynamic, no one gets to be whole and human.
Deep breath. This one isn’t as easy to share as some of my other posts. In part because a lot of us (not just white womxn) love to make ourselves inherently bad or inherently good. As my friend @inquisitive_human says, we like to passionately make out with it. It’s seductive because we either relinquish our responsibility (and therefore our power) to the other so we don’t have the carry the weight of it OR we take on all the power and responsibility and we get to experience the slight comfort of pretending that we have control in a wild world. In this, we must assign either a right/wrong or good/bad judgement. And like most either/or dynamics there’s not a lot of space for you to be human, sovereign, whole.
There is another way.
Is this resonating, challenging, upsetting, affirming? Am I wrong? (Lol) Let me know.
And what other ways do you see this showing up in your life or in our cultures? #antiracism - #diversityandinclusion #nashvilleteacher #antiracism #highereducation #blackhistory #ally #teachershare #blackintheivory #whitefragility #changingthenarrative #ushistory #socialstudies #historyteacher #teacherproblems
rp @sincerely.lettie: “The fact that we are here and that I speak these words is an attempt to break that silence and bridge some of those differences between us, for it is not difference which immobilizes us, but silence. And there are so many silences to be broken.”—Audre Lorde

Dear white parents,
.
@thisgrowinglife The influence you have over your children not only affects your family but it affects the future of countless others. What you teach them now and, more importantly, what you show them by your actions can help to shape the next generation.
.
Everytime that you meet someone who is different than you are, you have the opportunity to teach love and acceptance. When those around you take part in conversations that villanize and demoralize a group of people who may look differently than you do, you have the opportunity to speak out against discrimination and prejudice. Everyday the news comes on with stories that are fabricated to instill fear and division based on untrue biases and stereotypes, you have the opportunity to teach truth and unity.
.
And each time that you take those opportunities, you are helping to make the lives of my (future) children and millions of others a little easier. Racism is not going away, the sinfulness of man's heart will surely prevent that. But each and every one of us has the opportunity to make a difference by teaching our children that all people, regardless of race, deserve to be treated with love, kindness, and compassion. AND Equality!

rp @eliana.chinea: Yes we need to take up space, but it’s important we understand that we don’t need white people, or need to replicate their behavior, to thrive. We need to divest. Replicating the status quo while screaming we dismantle it, is not it babes.
